Shana Melnysyn(she/her)

I am an embodied and grounded somatic guide & yoga teacher, and I'm always learning and developing my offerings. Building on the foundation of my PhD in cultural anthropology and history, with a focus on how humans negotiate belonging and attachment within colonial and oppressive cultures, I offer approachable and attuned support for all kinds of humans. I have over 450 hours of intensive somatic, psychedelic, & yoga training. I completed The Embody Lab's Somatic Attachment Therapy Certificate Program in 2023.

If you are looking for a down-to-earth practitioner who can meet you exactly where you are, we might be a good fit! Please reach out to book a FREE 15-minute consult. I'm available for virtual sessions (located in US pacific time zone). I also have some in-person availability in the Berkeley/Oakland area.

• Anxiety & its physical/somatic effects
• Psychedelic integration
• Eco-Anxiety & Grief
• Non-monogamy/Polyamory
• Men's work/Divesting from patriarchy
